Nazi Police shako, but too good to be true?

Hello, here is Julekpl again. I have recently been offered a fair cash trade for a Nazi Police shako cap, but it seems to be in too good condition. The owner said he found it in his grandparents closet, and he knows they lived in Germany during ww2, but stores can be made up....I'm just not sure about this piece, it seems in too good condition...any thoughts?

An authentic Schako...manufacturer's mark is spot on...I don't even think they're reproducing convincing Schakos...usually they'll take a postwar West German Schako and add Nazi-era insignia...but even those are the All-Black Schakos, not the type shown...
Hope you get it at a good price...
cheers, Glenn

Yeah, I've made enough money on the side to further expand my collection, and I would love this piece. I will try to point out the negatives to the guy, and hopefully he might even drop it down a bit more

It's authentic and may well be Unissued, going by it's condition. Most of these woolen body jobs have significant Moth damage, but I can see only 1 nip in the rear right side. $400 is a steal....get down there and Grab it!
